Originally from Bloemfontein, comedian/actress/writer Anne Hirsch has been taking SA by storm with her unique way of doing things (like collecting celebrity hair locks and hugging) on YouTube, TV and radio. She's young (only 29), never sleeps it seems, BFF with Angelina Jolie (with a photo to prove it), and the Expresso Morning Show team assures me she smells very nice. Who wouldn't want to subscribe to her YouTube channel at youtube.com/theannehirschshow.

What interesting things have you been up to lately?In 2010 I was cast as the lead antagonist (the main bad guy) in a Bollywood film and was flown to Mumbai, India, to film for three weeks. Last year I walked the red carpet with Robert De Niro and sat in the front row of a full cinema watching myself on screen at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Qatar, Middle East. This last summer I played a lead role in the Shakespeare production at Maynardville Open Air Theatre - I had sat watching those plays since primary school - it was my childhood dream come true.
